The Florida Holocaust Museum’s mission is to honor the memory of the men, women and children who suffered and lost their lives in the Holocaust. It’s also to teach the critical lessons necessary to avoid future instances of injustice throughout our society. This is done through permanent exhibitions featuring artifacts and stories of local survivors and rotating exhibitions focused on specific facets of the Holocaust.

However, the Florida Holocaust Museum faced an issue that many museums face in our digital world- how to utilize current technologies to present the museum’s mission, resources and brand beyond its own walls. The experience for visitors to the museum is unsurpassed but can the experience be translated to a broader audience digitally?

To accomplish this important initiative, the Florida Holocaust Museum partnered with Absolute Mobile Solutions to produce an interactive website that will not only brand the museum in a fresh way, but also provide a dynamic platform for using the museum’s comprehensive educational resources.
Once the key stakeholders approved the mock-up for the new website, we built a WordPress Content Management System with a customized theme. The system was created to allow the museum staff to update their website without our assistance. Exhibits change on a regular basis and the museum has a number of monthly events. The use of a content management system represents a significant cost and time savings.

The Florida Holocaust Museum provides trunks with the resources necessary to teach students about the Holocaust to educators throughout United States. The large teaching trunks provide literature-based lessons about the Holocaust, genocide and character education. The new website has enhanced registration systems allowing people to reserve educational trunk program as well as group tours.

After site development, testing, and adjustment based on user feedback, the new Florida Holocaust Museum website was launched. We completed the project by training the museum’s staff on using the registration systems and updating content.
